1296. MORE CONCERNING THE BLACK MURDERER Because that spirit [see n. 1293] could not be sent down into one of those hells, he was left free in the heaven of spirits, and indeed at some height above the forehead; for in the life of his body he had desired to become great, but before he became so, he died, perhaps because he was notorious and not of good character, which becomes evident in the society of men, however it may be concealed.
